Need some long range reactive target

[Bug Splat]

Me and some guys are going to be doing some long range shooting up to 1000 yards later this month. I'm looking for some metal gong/reactive targets to put out for us to shoot. I don't want to spend much money for this so I'm looking for ideas on what I can maybe snag for cheap. I have a couple 12" brake rooters that we can take out there but what I'd really love is a zombie chest size silhouet. Maybe cut a manhole cover if I could find one.

Also what could I put over the plates to reduce sparks? We plan to clear a patch for the target but you can never be too careful. Maybe a sheet of old carpet?

What have you you guys done in the past?

Check with these guys. They're local and their prices aren't too bad:

Also, LV Steel Targets in Vegas have a variety of steel plates you could use.

I am really tempted to buy some of these, but only wish they were a bit bigger. They are larger than most brake rotors though.

There are manhole covers all over the place, just go to the street and viola! Probably be best to take one from Wilshire street by the golf course, the street is so ****ty no one would notice.

Tannerite! Shouldn't be a fire hazard this time of year anyway.

I'd really like to find an old fire hose reel from some abandoned commercial building. My old club used that stuff for hangers and it took all sorts of abuse.

Great stuff guys, thanks. There is a salvage shop by my house that I will check out. If I have no luck there I bet I can find some scrap plates at a fab shop in town.

I've shot squirrels. Usually plenty available and quite reactive to 55gr V-Max

Old powder type fire extinguishers work great. Especially when they are still charged.
